### How does Azure Communication Services handle opt-outs for alphanumeric sender ID?

Alphanumeric sender ID is not capable of receiving inbound messages or STOP messages. Azure Communication Services does not enforce or manage opt-out lists for alphanumeric sender ID. You must provide customers with instructions to opt-out using other channels such as, calling support, providing an opt-out link in the message, or emailing support. See [messaging policy guidelines](./messaging-policy.md#how-we-handle-opt-out-requests-for-sms) for further details.
